Changing save ability score

[AndrewD2]

I've got 3 feats that allow the PC to temporarily change the ability score a save is based on to their primary spellcasting attribute. I setup a selector for attributes. I tried setting up a string variable that was the SaveAbil.[whatever the selected ID is] but it didn't like that and then I tried just putting the id into the statement like so and that didn't work either

perform hero.child[svFort].tagreplace[SaveAbil.?,SaveAbil.field[usrChosen1].chosen.idstring]

Any ideas how to accomplish this, I didn't have much luck looking for examples.

Phase and Priority?

idstring doesn't return a tag ID - it only returns a text string.

field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]

@Aaron: It's currently running at Post-Attr/10,000. Since it won't compile I haven't been able to see if that's appropriate or not.

@Mathias: I've tried a few different things with that and still get either tag syntax is invalid or tag not defined.

I've tried:

perform hero.child[svFort].tagreplace[SaveAbil.?,SaveAbil.field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]]

perform hero.child[svFort].tagreplace[SaveAbil.?,field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]]

var attr as string
attr = field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]
perform hero.child[svFort].tagreplace[SaveAbil.?,attr]

Not really sure what to do with it.

perform hero.child[svFort].tagreplace[SaveAbil.?,[B]SaveAbil.[/B]field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]]

The bolded part is your issue. HL has no idea what that is as its not part of normal script transitions. You just want "field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]" which will return the value of "SaveAbil.XXXX" where XXXX is the tag on the Pick Chosen.

Code is now:

perform hero.child[svFort].tagreplace[SaveAbil.?,field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]]

Still get the invalid tag template error.

I had actually tried that one but I must have copied and pasted the wrong line when I was posting my code.

 

[Mathias]

Do you have an ischosen test before this line of code?

Because if you were to let this line of code run before selecting anything, it would fail.

 

[AndrewD2]

Yes I do.

The entire code is as follows:

field[abValue].value += herofield[tMaxSpLev].value

field[trkMax].value += field[abValue].value

doneif (field[usrChosen1].ischosen = 0)

perform hero.child[svFort].delete[SaveAbil.?]

perform hero.child[svFort].assign[field[usrChosen1].chosen.tagids[SaveAbil.?]]

The exact error is:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'fRPMystFor' (Eval Script '#1') on line 9
-> Invalid syntax for tag template

 

[Mathias]

Okay, looking some more, tagreplace must be specific about which tag it is assigning. You can't look up the tag within the tagreplace.

So:

perform field[usrChosen1].chosen.pulltags[SaveAbil.?]
perform hero.child[svFort].delete[SaveAbil.?]
perform hero.child[svFort].pushtags[SaveAbil.?]

 

[AndrewD2]

Ah, ok. Thanks Mathias. I think that makes sense (I tend to get a little confused with push/pulltags)
